About this file
This Insurance Specifications for Contractors document, issued by the School Board of Pinellas County, Florida, establishes mandatory insurance requirements for all contractors awarded contracts by the district. Contractors must obtain and submit certificates of insurance within ten working days of contract award, with the School Board listed as both an "Additional Insured" and "Certificate Holder" on all policies. The document requires General Liability Insurance with minimum limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 general aggregate for projects under $500,000, or $1,000,000 per occurrence and $5,000,000 general aggregate for projects $500,000 and above. Additionally, contractors must maintain Business Coverage Automobile Insurance with a $300,000 combined single limit and Workers' Compensation Insurance at statutory levels with $100,000 per accident employer's liability coverage. All insurance companies must maintain a rating of "A-V" or better according to Best's Financial Strength Rating, and the School Board requires ten days' notice of cancellation and thirty days' notice of non-renewal.
The School Board of Pinellas County assumes no liability for insurance deductibles, which remain the sole responsibility of the contractor or subcontractor. Any additional premiums required by insurance companies to add the School Board as an "Additional Insured" cannot be used as justification for non-compliance with insurance requirements. The Commercial General Liability Policy must include specific coverage extensions including Premises Operation with XCU coverage (when applicable), Independent Contractor's Protective coverage, Broad Contractual Liability, Products and Completed Operations, and Personal & Advertising Injury Liability. These specifications apply to the Dock and Boardwalk Repairs project at Madeira Beach Fundamental K-8 School, with a contract value of approximately $462,745, where sealed electronic bids are due April 20, 2026, and the mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for April 6, 2026.

INSURANCE SPECIFICATIONS FOR CONTRACTORS
(present this information to your insurance agent)
The contractor shall obtain, within ten (10) working days of the award by the School Board, all of the insurance coverage’s required in the project specifications. Certificates of Insurance shall be filed with and approved by the School Board before the contractor or any subcontractor is allowed to commence work on the project.
The School Board of Pinellas County shall be listed both as an "Additional Insured" and “Certificate Holder” on all insurance policies obtained by the contractor as the result of being awarded a contract;
unless expressly prohibited by the insurance company. A written explanation of that insurance company's position will be attached to the Certificate of Insurance filed with the School Board of Pinellas County's Risk Management Department. Any requirement by the contractor's insurance company that an additional premium shall be required for the issuance of a Certificate of Insurance with the School Board of Pinellas County as an "Additional Insured” shall not excuse any failure to obtain the required insurance certificate. The School Board of Pinellas County requires a 10 notice of cancellation and a 30 notice for non-renewal.
The name of the insurance company(ies) listed on the Certificate of Insurance on file in the Risk Management Department shall be the same as it appears in Best’s Financial Strength Rating. The insurance company named on the Certificate of Insurance shall have a rating of "A-V" or better as stated in Best’s Financial Strength Rating.
1. GENERAL LIABILITY INSURANCE
The contractor shall provide the ISO Commercial General Liability Policy. The Owner shall be exempt from, and in no way liable for, any sums of money which may represent a deductible in any insurance policy. The payment of such deductible shall be the responsibility solely of the contractor or subcontractor providing such insurance.
The Commercial General Liability Policy (CGL) is a method of automatically providing a broad range of common coverage extensions to the CGL policy that firms often need and overlook. By having a CGL policy, it will reduce the overall cost of providing those other coverage’s at a future date and allows for a wide distribution of those packaged coverage’s.
The CGL policy shall provide coverage of at least the following items:
a) General Aggregate:
i) Premises Operation which will include XCU coverage except when work does not include foundation, structural work, pressure fired vessels or materials or construction techniques which could explode.
ii) Independent Contractor's Protective which provides coverage for injury to others arising out of the independent contractors work. General Contractors may opt to provide this coverage in lieu of naming the School Board of Pinellas County as “Additional Insured”.
iii) Broad Contractual Liability which is liability assumed by the insured under ay contract agreement. This includes any oral or written contract or agreement relating to the conduct of the named insured’s business. If excluded, exception for liability is assumed in an insured contract.
